“I would not have been able to come to AUC without the scholarship. The AUC community, faculty and staff have had a great impact on my life and intellect. I learned a lot in my five years at AUC. I contributed to community service activities, technical academic research, as well as gaining experience from the diversity at AUC. One of the main advantages of AUC is that I was exposed to various cultures that helped enhance my communication and analytical skills and the ability to criticize and develop innovative ideas to solve problems.”

Endowed Professorships

Endowed professorships are among our most effective tools to sustain our portfolio of tenured faculty and to support them fully in their professional growth. Not only is it an honor for a current professor but supporting these positions also helps the University attract, and retain, academic leaders. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, there are six distinguished visiting professorships established at AUC and nine named professorships.

Research Funds

Research drives innovation creating a tangible effect on the growth of disciplinary knowledge and the enhancement of societal welfare, which then drives long term economic development. AUC has more than 13 interdisciplinary research centers, all of which advance the understanding of world issues with a special emphasis on the Arab region. AUC’s research centers have active research agendas, community links and partnerships with international organizations.
